Victor Boniface has returned to training with Werder Bremen after a three-month absence following knee surgery in January. The Super Eagles striker, on loan from Bayer Leverkusen until the end of the season, had been expected to miss the remainder of the campaign. Boniface confirmed his return, stating, "I am happy to be back after three months out. I am now looking forward to what we can achieve at the end of the season." He is currently training separately from the main squad as he builds match fitness. The 25-year-old's comeback comes at a critical time for Werder Bremen, who sit 14th in the Bundesliga with 28 points from 27 matches. They are four points above the relegation zone with seven games remaining. Boniface has featured in 10 Bundesliga matches this season, scoring two goals before his injury.
Boniface saying he's eager to contribute by season's end suggests he believes he can influence Werder Bremen's survival fight — that level of confidence, post-major surgery, reveals his self-belief. For a team clinging to mid-table safety, his return isn't just a boost; it's a statement of intent from a player who may have more impact off the bench than some starters.
